The article presents the results of the 2005–2006 sociological research conducted by the author
among rural youth of Buryatia, as well as some data of the 2009 sociological survey conducted among
the rural population of the Kyakhtinsky region in Buryatia by a group of scientists from Buryatia (including
the author). The paper focuses on the social significance of the Russian countryside that keeps up and
transfers human values and traditional folk culture. The author presents the characteristics of spiritual and
moral values of modern rural population and youth, analyzes some problems of rural life, and highlights
urgent tasks to conserve and develop the countryside. According to the author, it is necessary to implement
a programme of actions aimed at improving living conditions of the rural population, providing employment
for young people for their self-realization in the native countryside, heightening the prestigious
status of rural areas, developing rural social and cultural spheres, forming a social ideology to educate the
younger generation in the best spiritual and moral traditions of our culture.
